1 for primary care Policy briefing Northern Ireland 2017
2 Musculoskeletal (MSK) health issues are the most common cause of repeat GP appointments (1) and account for around 1 in 5 of all GP appointments. (2-4) The majority of the GP s MSK caseload can be dealt with effectively by a physiotherapist without any need to see the GP. (5,13) MSK is the second most common cause of sickness absence; (6) speeding up access to a physio is key to reducing this. The government is now actively looking into physios issuing fit notes which would further reduce demand for GP appointments. (7) Physiotherapists are the most expert professional group regarding musculoskeletal issues with the exception of orthopaedic consultants. (8) They have the same high safety record as GPs and are trained to spot and act on red flags. They are autonomous, regulated practitioners, holding their own professional liability cover (a benefit of CSP membership). (9) They don t require supervision or delegation from medical colleagues or others and are experts in inter-professional and cross-agency working. Many advanced practice physiotherapists are qualified to prescribe independently, order investigations, carry out injection therapy and plan complex case management. An advanced practice physiotherapist costs per hour, a GP per hour. (10) Modernising access Self-referral to physiotherapy allows patients to access services directly without having to see their GP or anyone else first. Patients can either refer themselves directly into existing physiotherapy services or see a physiotherapist based in general practice. Self-referral to physiotherapy is 25% cheaper to the health service than a GP referral (11) and has been fully evaluated and recommended by NICE. (12) This is a tried and tested model, yet in spite of the evidence, and self-referral being available within the private sector for nearly 40 years only one Trust in Northern Ireland is currently providing self referral. When actively marketed to 10,000 adults registered in practices in a trial, there was no increase in referral to physio or waiting times. (13) Fewer repeat appointments, less paperwork Less money on locums More time for other patients and to manage Quick access to experts Confidence on the right pathway Empowered to self-manage
3 Less testing and prescribing Less secondary care referrals Shorter waiting times in secondary care South Eastern Trust Self Referral Pilot The pilot in South Eastern Trust (SET) was introduced in June 2015 and evaluated over the course of a year. A total of 19,588 patients who accessed physiotherapy were tracked and demonstrated high levels of service user satisfaction, patient empowerment and better clinical outcomes. A minimum of GP hours and an estimated cost saving 88,693 was made during the 12 months for patients who would otherwise have seen their GP first. The evaluation recommended that self referral should be rolled out across all Northern Ireland trusts. (14) Expanding the GP s team GPs and policy makers are recognising that physiotherapy can help meet patient needs in new and sustainable ways. Health and Well Being 2026 Delivering Together (15) outlines the Minister s vision for the future delivery of health and social care services in Northern Ireland. It states that future health interventions need a model that provides fully integrated multidisciplinary care including physiotherapists in primary care. GP physiotherapy roles are a new form of self-referral which further develops GP and physio services, enhances patient care and reduces the GP workload. Patients with MSK symptoms can opt to see the physio instead of the GP to assess, diagnose, advise and provide exercises and, when needed, carry out further investigations and refer on. The roles are usually carried out by physiotherapists with advanced practice skills and training. What is new is that this puts physiotherapy expertise at the start of the patient s journey, at the place they are most likely to seek help first. Where GP physiotherapists are also part of teams providing MSK services for trusts, this supports integration of MSK services across primary, secondary and community care. Where there isn t an established orthopaedic triage service, these roles are substantially reducing referrals to secondary care and investigations. Even where such triage services are well established, general practice physiotherapy roles are still achieving significant savings. Although these roles are new, already over 8 out of 10 GPs have confidence in this model. (16) There are numerous examples of where this model has been developed in England, Scotland and Wales. Primary care Cheshire Physiotherapy first is a joint initiative between Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and the Countess of Chester Hospital Foundation Trust. 36 GP surgeries in West Cheshire now give their patients the choice of seeing a physiotherapist when they first contact the practice with MSK symptoms. They see around 1000 patients per month roughly a quarter of the GPs MSK caseload. Under 3% are referred back to the GP for medication review or for non-msk conditions, while over six in ten patients are discharged after one appointment with the general practice physio. For more information contact: Alison Swanton, Head of Joint Therapies, a.swanton@nhs.net Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board provides physiotherapy in over 50 GP practices and has 19 physiotherapists, all trained to independently prescribe. The service operates with advanced MSK practitioner physiotherapists at bands 7 and 8a. Physiotherapists in this model see patients for 20 minutes, where GPs do 10 minute consultations. A 3 month audit found that 30% more GP availability was created by employing general practice physiotherapists and less than 1% of patients seen needed to be referred on to the GP. Onwards referrals to secondary care have been reduced by 25% to rheumatology, 62% to pain clinics and 40% to spinal specialists.

4 Together they have: Saved GP/locum time 84% of patients seen would have been seen by the GP value 540k/year Decreased plain x-ray referrals by 5.9% value 28k / year Decreased MRI referrals by 4.9% value 83k / year Decreased orthopaedic referrals by 2% value 70k / year Reduced referrals to physiotherapy services by 3% after a year on year increase of 12% over the previous 5 years High patient satisfaction 99%rated the service good or excellent, 97% had their issues addressed High GP satisfaction 91% rated the benefit of the service to their practice as 8 or over with 45% scoring it 10 out of 10. Physiotherapy first really complements how our GP s work in practice. Patients with MSK problems no longer need to see a GP first. Our patients are very impressed with the quick access and very few need a re-referral to see a GP. Dr Chris Steere GP at Neston Medical Centre I have had extremely positive feedback from all the patients who have seen the physiotherapists. They feel seeing them in the surgery is convenient and the time gap between application to be seen and treated is short. Dr David Robyns-Owen Treflan Surgery, Pwllheli The service has proved to be incredibly popular and successful with patients and staff alike. It has had a very positive impact on the health of our patients here in Nefyn and the ability to refer patients promptly and appropriately has been very advantageous. Dr Arfon Williams GP, Ty Doctor, Nefyn
5 C ommunity rehabilitation reduces the number of people becoming needlessly disabled and prevented from leading active lives. It also reduces pressures on secondary care. But too often people receive intensive rehabilitation in hospital but have long waits when they get home, if it is available at all. In a study by the Stroke Association 45% of patients said they felt abandoned when they left hospital. (19) While patients wait their recovery is halted and can reverse causing lasting disability, distress and deterioration of health. To maximise independence and reduce disability, a patient s rehab needs to continue from hospital to home, be easy to refer back into and rooted in the community. Respiratory Pulmonary rehab for people with COPD reduces morbidity, mortality halves the time patients spend in hospital and reduces (17, 18) admissions by 26% The Western Health and Social Care Trust (HSC) respiratory care service is run by a multi-disciplinary team comprised of a consultant, a respiratory physiotherapist, an oxygen specialist nurse and a respiratory pharmacist. Outreach clinics include physiotherapy at home. In four months the service has: reduced by 38% length of stay for respiratory inpatients at the South West Acute Hospital saved on the respiratory drugs bill 100 admissions prevented. Frail elderly Half of all people who suffer a hip fracture are left with a permanent disability and can no longer live independently. (20) Around 5,700 falls could be prevented in Northern Ireland each year, saving lives and 8.2m for the health service. Failing to invest will mean the number of people each year who will need a care home admission after a fall will increase 26.9 per cent by 2020, costing the economy an additional 4.4m annually. (24) Acute care at home A number of trusts are offering acute hospital care to older people within their own home or in nursing/residential home, with multi-disciplinary teams that include physiotherapists. In its first year, the Southern Health and Social Care Trust s Acute Care at Home service prevented around 400 hospital admissions and has supported a much earlier discharge for around 100 people. (21) Because of the success of the pilot, the service is now available across the Craigavon and Banbridge area, most of Armagh and Dungannon. With the continued support of Integrated Care Partnerships (ICP) will eventually be available throughout the Southern area. East Belfast ICP established their Acute Care at Home service in May 2015 and this has since been rolled out across Belfast. The integrated team, including physiotherapists, help older people aged 75+ to manage conditions such as chest infections, urinary tract infections, cellulitis and dehydration. The average length of service at home is 6 days, compared to an average 11 day stay in hospital. In 2015/ older people were provided with care in their place of residence, avoiding admission and saving 3014 bed days. (22-23) FACT Every year 5,700 serious falls could be prevented in Northern Ireland if everyone 65+ at risk of falling was referred to physiotherapy, saving the health service 8.2 million. Every 1 invested brings a return of 4. (24) Group exercise programmes reduce falls by 29% and individual exercise programmes by 32%. (25)
